Hurling Some Sarcasm at "Jake."
Honsrafn,pn Mail

There have been lately several severe engage
ments between single vessels of the Oyster Navy
and hostile dredgers in the waters of the Chesa-
peake Bay. In one of them the State vessel not
being able to bring its cannon to bear and having
only small arms to rely upon, was obliged to haul
off In another, after good deal of cannon and
rife firing, the dredgers safely escaped There is
no report of any killed or wounded in either en-
gagement on either side.
We think that things have come to such pass
upon the Bay and its waters that Admiral Plow-
man ought to form squadron of his choice vessels
and himself at the head, sail as Nelson of renown
In search of the enemy.
It is but due to the public service that amid
these warlike movements, he should for the time
leave the peaceful culture of his productive farm
where, we are disposed to believe, he has been
marshaling his cabbages, corn, potatoes, tomatoes
and onions as squadrons on the high seas and from
which naturally he must have extracted much ex-
perience in seamanship, instead of leaving the
dread responsibility of sanguinary battle alone to
his lieutenants, however trusty and fearless they
may be. In representing too the dignity Of the
State he should go forth fully equipped. With a
faithful sword buckled on to his left thigh, and
capable canteen slung securely by his right side,
full blue navy suit-a short-tailed coat and loose,
flowing trowsers, with golden bright epauletts on
each shoulder and like lace down on each outside
seam of the trowsers, an admirals regulation navy
cap in action on his fgurative head, an ample and
true spy glass grasped in his right hand and posing
on his right foot put down on the fore deck of the
flag vessel, would more than likely measure up to
the occasion

A Big Victory for Prohibition.
PhiladelDhiu Times.

IHteuuetpHtU A"co'
There is little doubt that the decision of the
United States Supreme Court sustaining the right
of the individual States to suppress the liquor
traffic is the most important victory ever gained
by the prohibition cause. ProAibitionists have
carried elections and enacted laws only to see their
apparent triumphs postponed indefinitely by a
change in popular opinion which repealed, nodi-
fed or rendered imperative the restrictive legs-
lation enacted. While no absolute constitutional
barrier in the way of prohibition existed there was
always q chance that public sentiment could be
educated up to the point ofreenacting prohibition
ev en- after it had proved failure at the first trial.
There has been, however, heretofore well-de-
fined doubt existing in the minds of many persons
we'll disposed toward prohibition as to whether the
State could not be compelled to pay for the prop
erty rendered vaueless by prohibitory enactments
To these persons the cost of prohibition seemed
too high if attainable only by the expenditure Of
millions of dollars in the way of compensation to
brewers, distillers hotel and saoon-keepers. This
class of people will be more likely to advocate and
sustain prohibitory legislation in future now that
this obstacle is removed. The additions to the
prohibition forces from this source will be con-
siderable and may be safely pointed on as perma-
nent. Aa-,
This imaginary constitutional barrier out of the
way the Prohibitonists have only to address them
selves to the task of making the people believe
that prohibition is desirable and right This task
will prove difficult enough, for the average Amer
lean citizen is deeply imbued with the idea that
he has an Unborn right to drink whisky or beer if
he wants to. The attempt to keep him from drink
ing by the indirect method ofpreventing anybody
from making drinks for him or selling it to him
only increases his determination to have it at any
cost and sets him upon inventing devices to pro-
- e A. - H.. I'D.
ting good working majority of the voters to the
point of enacting and enforcing prohibitory laws
will prove no tring one, but if it can be done the
decision of the Supreme Court clears the way OF
what has heretofore been regarded as serious OBJ
stacle to prohibition.
